On Jan. 21, more than 100 citizens gathered at a People's Liberation Army camp in Heihe, the northernmost city in China, to make dumplings for soldiers in celebration of the coming Chinese New Year. Thousands of dumplings were made in just three hours. The soldiers later froze them outdoors, where the temperature was minus 30 degrees Celsius. Making dumplings for soldiers around festivals has become a tradition for the local people.
